Landing the right job: Bob Gerberg on job hunting preparation

Job seekers must first know what the market wants. For respected staffing executive and author Bob Gerberg, knowing the trends in the prevailing job market helps job hunters determine in which aspects they need stepping up so that employers will seriously consider them for the open position.

Matching job skills

According to Gerberg, this can be done by organizing one’s professional accomplishments. Job seekers must catalog all accomplishments to make them suitable for a prospective employer’s job offering. This is also meant to make the potential employer interested in the applicant; employers are often on the lookout for applicants who can provide more than one specialization, which can add great value to their target organization. There are positions higher than their desired positions that applicants can apply for if they market themselves correctly.

According to Bob Gerberg, many clients settle for less than their ideal positions simply because they were not able to effectively communicate their total skill sets to the company they applied for. Gerberg believes that if applicants can communicate at least 10 to 20 skills they possess to the target company, this would be a major game changer in their job search. Communicating one’s true assets can make a significant change for applicants looking for a new pursuit or landing their first job.

Bob Gerberg, Jr: Improving web presence or online identity

Bob Gerberg Jr.: The essence of cold calling process in job hunting

In the competitive world of job searching, more and more techniques have emerged. Good thing there are job hunting authorities like Robert J. Gerberg Jr., Chief Executive Officer of American Jobs Network, who help job seekers utilize innovative ways in landing their dream jobs.

From Bob Gerberg Jr.

Networking is one of the best ways to look for a job, but a lot of people think otherwise or shy away from the idea of making their job hunting public consumption. Nonetheless, there’s a new method that many are interested in which is called cold calling.

Sometimes referred to as cold canvassing, cold calling is communicating with potential employers who have not advertised a position. Job hunters do this via phone or mail. The main objective of this endeavor is to get interview appointments for future vacancies.

From Bob Gerberg Jr.

Job hunting experts including Robert J. Gerberg Jr. are in unison with the idea that to maximize the use of any job application technique, people have to study its full capability.

Making cold calling more effective in job searching

People should identify companies – which are potential employers -- that have positions in their area of expertise. Researching before doing hundreds of cold calls is essential to get good results. Narrowing down the list of target companies is more effective than having more entries which are randomly selected.

Be limitless: Robert J. Gerberg Jr. on why exploring several industries is key to being hired

Robert J. Gerberg Jr. is a leader in developing technology-based services that can help businesses operate virtually. He is also the Chief Executive Officer of American Jobs Network. It is in this capacity that he poses the following question to job hunters: “Why would you want to limit yourself to just one industry?”

Bob Gerberg Jobinterviewperfection.com


According to Bob Gerberg Jr., considering other industries outside the fields in which a person is comfortable and familiar with is advisable when hunting for a job. People with experience in generic fields such as administration, banking, finance, and human resources, he has found, tend to have no problems when changing industries.

Thus, Robert J. Gerberg Jr. has yet another question for job hunters: “With so many industries in trouble or not hiring, many people searching for a job want or need to find one in a new industry. But even for those who don’t, why not uncover all opportunities out there for you?”


There are several ways to go about exploring other industries. One of the ways to start doing so is identifying industries that are similar to the ones an individual is already comfortable and familiar in. Knowing one’s transferable skills, skills that could be put to use in any industry, is another major advantage.

Resume writing is not as easy as it seems. As the applicant’s first tool to land a job, the resume must attain the objective of capturing the attention of an employer.

Today, people are advised to avoid writing old style resumes wherein there are many indentations, making applicants not fully utilize the first page of their resumes.


Bob Gerberg Jr.’s American Jobs Network, a company that specializes in resume writing, shares some points to consider when writing a resume:
• The resume must be one page in length
• Target job position and objectives must be included
• Transferrable skills, or second and third job options, can be helpful in case an applicant didn’t get considered for his first choice
• The resume must have a clean layout and a presentable photo of the applicant
• Relevant key words listed right under the job titles an applicant prefers are important especially for skimming or scanning purposes

The resume must already say a lot about the applicant but doing so by providing unnecessary details is a big no-no. According to Mr. Gerberg Jr., “The difference in having an ‘A’ resume, and not just a ‘B’ resume, is dramatic.” Hence, writing a resume requires sound judgment call on what matters most.
